Most of the kids all think that Atticus was just an old person with nothing to do; that he could never do anything “cool.” He was a nice and generous man, but the kids just thought he was old and outdated. He taught his kids many things, like how to read. His kids sure didn’t have the strongest love for school, actually the complete opposite, but him pushing them through till the end left a positive stain on their lives. Atticus once said, “Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” –Page 98. Most people knew that he was a good person, which made it clear of what he was saying by that. He says this because of Boo Radley, for instance, is like a mockingbird. He never once harmed a human, he even left Jem and Scout presents! It’s not right to go around and give people bad names, unless there is a reason for it all, in this case there is none. All mockingbirds do is flutter around and sing happy
